Texas DPS review of officer response to Uvalde shooting has ended with no more discipline

AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Department of Public Safety will not be disciplining any more of its officers over the botched police response to the Uvalde school massacre, agency officials said Thursday.

The remaining four officers who had been under review were cleared of wrongdoing, according to communications director Travis Considine, and the department’s internal investigation is now complete.

DPS has not publicly named all officers who were under scrutiny. But CNN has identified one of them as Capt. Joel Betancourt, who reportedly tried to delay a classroom breach.
